A quiet friendly town with more to it than just hobbiton.






Do not stay here! This is terrible lodging accommodation above a pub! It's very outdated old and does not feel clean. Had a ensuite room and for the money I paid was very disappointing. When it said oh this is a pub the music isn't loud yiu won't here it. I could hear the music if it was in my room ...

The owner was so nice and the place was decently cleaned. The biggest issue we had was the smell in the main bedroom. It smelled like someone had pee’d on the carpet and it had been there for a while.
